// Hi everyone! If you are thinking of starting a small business at home, I think you will like this post, about how we´ve reorganized our workspace at home for the projects of our photography studio (NUBAK) especially now that we are two people working! ;)

1. | CHOOSE THE BEST ORIENTATION FOR YOUR WORK TABLE

To enjoy as much natural light and free space as possible, the first thing you should look for is the best distribution of space. In our case, we decided to place onelarge work table in the middle of the room (perpendicular to the window), as it overwhelmed us to work facing the wall and also with this distribution we feel that everything flows better!.

2. | HOW TO HIDE AND ORDER THE CABLES AND THE "CPU"

For all those haven´t a beautiful and aesthetic Apple Mac to work with, sometimes is a real headache to think how to hide all the cables and the CPU from the computer. Our solution? keep the CPU inside a cabinet with door (from Ikea), and also protects the equipment from dust. And as you can see, at the other end of the table there is enough space to place books or my partner's laptop.

3. | THE STORAGE... MOBILE, LIGHT AND TO BE POSSIBLE WITH WHEELS!

Organizing all the material we need is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to decorating a space for a small business. In our case, we decided to store the office equipment and part of the smaller photographic equipment (flashes, cables, chargers, cards, etc.) in the drawer with wheels next to the table (very practical to remove for the photo sessions). Also we install some beautiful wooden wall hangers, and photography manuals and the larger equipment are organized in the low shelf with doors, which we sometimes use as a small photographic set. And the recycling basket? is a beautiful cloth basket (Brabantia)... semi-hidden in the furniture space!.

// See below how is the work table perpendicular to the window, as well as the shelf with doors and baskets (in the living room before), in which we now use to organize the cameras and the objectives that we use the most, together with other decorative objects that we use for photo shoots, magazines, art and decoration books, etc.

4. | TWO PARTNERS, TWO STYLES

Although this work space follows the decorative style of my house, we've managed to differentiate two spaces according to our style: one "minimal" space with less furniture and everything coordinated in black & white (with a modern Daw chair) and one "rustic" and cozy space with wooden details (with the Wishbone chair, a natural fibers plaid, etc). What do you think of this solution?.

5. | WALLS THAT SPEAK OF YOUR BUSINESS... AND WHO ARE YOU FROM!

A very important aspect was that the walls convey what we love so, as passionate about art and photography, we decided to create a simple black and white composition, whose main piece is a wonderful view of New York made by Cabo de Marcas, and that has also served as a starting point to think about the rest of the decoration. Here you have it in detail!

6. | AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ... CREATE A SPACE THAT ENJOYS YOU EVERY DAY!

Perhaps the best advice we can give you is to create a workspace that you love every day, because you are going to spend many hours in it!. With a simple, functional and attractive style that can grow with you and your business... and if you are several working in the same space, try to qualify the space of each one through the little details to turn it into something special! What do you think about the idea? ;)

// We are very happy with our small studio, although we'll be improving it and incorporating new ideas in the future. We hope you have enjoyed it and that you find it helpful to create and organize your small business at home, so we would love to know what you think... happy week to all! ;D

1.LIGHT AND WHITE FURNITURE.This trick is the most basic, along with not recharge the room furniture and choose them as light and open as possible to circulate light and air between them. Another good option is to paint them, and hang shelves, TV and shelves on the walls to free space on the floor.

2.TEXTILES IN LIGHT TONES. In the case of fabrics, undoubtedly the best option is to choose some white and light curtains for the windows, cover the floor with light carpets (especially if you have a wooden floor like ours) and, if you choose the sofa with a fabric in a dark tone, the ideal is to add several cushions and a plaid of light colors or mixed with some cheerful color.

3. DECOR DETAILS, ALSO IN WHITE + A TOUCH OF COLOR. Maybe you find a bit boring to decorate using white color, but it´s proven that it´s what best stands along the time and fashions. In addition, we can always choose some decorative details in black to give contrast, or more colorful (in my case flowers and plants), since they´re cheaper and easier to change than furniture.

// They´re very easy things to put into practice and so they fit all kinds of decorative styles and personalities. If I´ve learned something in all these years, it´s to look for what is most comfortable and easy for us on our day-to-day! and above all, that we´ve to listen more to our heart (and pocket) than to fashions or social networks. Please tell me if you liked it... and see you next week! ;D

// As we sometimes use my living-room as a work and meeting area, is essential for us having a warm and functional environment to develop our creativity. So, if you also occasionally work at home or want to start a small business on your own, see how easy it´s to set up a workspace with the most basic elements in your dining room. Here you can see it in detail...

// Well, I hope you liked our new 'Wishbone' chairs for our dining room and improvised workspace, feel free to tell me what you think!. And next week I´ll show you some new photos of the tv area and soon, our latest photography work for decoration brands. Thanks for being here and happy week to all of you! ;D

// Hi everyone! This week I´m so excited to show you my daughter's "new" toy kitchen. Actually, it's an old little plastic kitchen, but since it was very scratched in some places, I decided to give it a second life with chalk paint in white and mint. Here you can see the process...

// The first thing was to remove all the accessories and stickers, and then I cleaned it well with warm water and soap. Then I gave it a two layers of chalk paint (in white and mint) and the two doors and the tap with black chalkboard paint. Lastly I added striped wasi-tape on the oven door, and placed the accessories again. Here you have it in detail! ;)

// We love the wooden kitchens for kids (which are neutral for both sexes and also can be customized very easily) but if you have an old kitchen toy, think about painting it before throwing it away, because it costs nothing to update it and your children will love it!. I hope you liked it and you'll tell me what you think!

Passionate about photography and decoration since childhood, I have made my home the perfect "laboratory of ideas" to create environments with marked Nordic style, but always giving my personal touch through small details and accessories.

So, I hope you like my home and photos... And thanks for visiting my blog! ;D
